Chapter 1

Katniss P.O.V.

"Daddy what are we gonna buy mommy?" I ask as daddy and I enter the mall.

"A wedding gift Katniss", daddy says.

"Daddy everyone calls me Kit", I say, though my name is Katniss.

"Everyone but me sweetie, I don't think it's a point in having a nickname if you have such a beautiful name", daddy says and I giggle.

"Like Primrose as well?" I ask, because my little sister is named Primrose.

"Exactly", daddy says. "Katniss and Primrose my two beautiful daughters with beautiful names".

I hug daddy's arm tighter as we walk into a jewelry store.

Tomorrow is mommy's and daddy's wedding anniversary and daddy wants do buy mommy something really pretty.

"Oooo daddy, how about this one?" I say pointing at a gold heart neckless with a small but pretty diamond right in the middle of it.

Daddy takes a look at it. Than he looks at me and smiles.

"Very good Katniss, you really have an eye for this", daddy says.

Daddy tells the owner of the store what he wants to buy and he wraps it in a thin black box and some really beautiful gift paper.

He gives it do daddy and daddy gives it to me.

"Here Katniss hold this for a minute while I pay for this", daddy says and I take the pretty present.

Daddy pays it and small talks with the owner.

But someone comes into the store. Someone with a balaclava.

"LAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND DON'T MOVE!" He screams and points at us with a gun.

Everyone in the store screams and throw themselves onto the floor.

I don't. I don't know why I don't.

Daddy walks up to him.

"Put that down my, my good man", daddy says.

I hear a loud gun shot.

Daddy falls onto the floor.

"DADDY!" I roar as tears flow down my eyes and I start to run up to him.

But a man that is lying on the floor beside me, grabs my hand and drags me down on the floor and put he's arms around my head.

"Sshh sweetie", he says soothing, and strokes my head lightly.

"Daddy ... Daddy no... Daddy", I cry low into the mans chest.

I just saw my dad getting shot and killed on the spot.

"DADDY!"

I sit up in the bed crying and panicking

"Daddy!" I scream. "Daddy! Daddy come back!"

The door opens and my little sister Prim comes running inside my room.

She jumps up on my bed.

"Katniss it was just a dream, Katniss sshh", she says stroking my hair.

"It was not Prim", I cry, trying to get down my pulse again. "I saw dad getting killed again".

"Oh Katniss", Prim says and strokes my cheek.
